Two nonoverlapping Acute angles that share a ray form an obtuse angle. If one of the acute angles has a measure of 50°, what could be the measure of the other acute angle?
The sum of the two acute angles must equal the measure of the obtuse angle, which is greater than 90°.
Let x be the measure of the other acute angle.
Since one of the acute angles measures 50°, we have:
50° + x > 90°
x > 40°
Therefore, the measure of the other acute angle could be any value greater than 40°.
